I can't log on to the internet via my router, my other computer(XP) can. There was a problem with a possible virus that my children isolated, but I think it was an integral part of the computer. It was kernel.dll and another was winsock? Before these were removed the connection was working properly. Can anyone help please, the kids are driving me mad to go on msn messenger

You might want to download kernel.dll

but i am not sure why some sites say its a virus

where can I add this from?

[gerryf]

let's back up

setting aside the kernel error for a moment, right click NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD, choose PROPERTIES.

what do you see on the configuration tab?

[briaimkay]

it give a list of network components installed

[gerryf]

yes, I know...what ones?

Are you using broadband or dial up (or both?)

I suppose it does not matter since this does not connect anyway, but I wanted to set you up so less is required to get you back up and running.

I want to use broadband, the components are as follows
client for M/S networks
10/100 Mbps PCI Fast ethernet adapter
dial-up adapter
dial-up adapter #2 [vpn support]
M/S virtual private network adapter
NDISWAN - M/S virtual private network adapter
TCP/IP 10/100 Mbps Fast ethernet adapter
TCP/IP dial-up adapter
TCP/IP dial-up adapter #2 [vpn support]
file and printer sharing
